Angus Lalonde

The Stormont House.

      This hotel, located at the corner of Water and Marlboro Streets (The Brennan Block), is one of Cornwall's new hotels, but the proprietor, Angus Lalonde, is one of the Old Boys. He is a native of Glengarry, and has resided in Cornwall for 26 years, during which time he was one of the most popular master builders in the United Counties. Mr. Lalonde was chosen by his fellow citizens to sit at the Council Board as Councillor, Deputy-Reeve and Reeve for 13 consecutive years and in 1904 was elected Mayor. His House is a good one.
 


Maple Leaf Hotel

      The Maple Leaf Hotel is located on the Montreal Road at the East End, and occupies a three-story brick building. The house is lighted with electricity, is well heated and also provided with the best sanitary conveniences. The Maple Leaf enjoys a large transient trade, as well as being patronized largely by farmers. The local patronage enjoyed by the Maple Leaf is very extensive. The house is provided with fine, large, airy bed rooms; ladies' and public parlors, while in the dining room you will always get the best of everything that is going and every attention shown you. The bar is provided with the very best wines, liquors and cigars, nothing but strictly first-class goods. The stabling accommodation is not excelled by any house in Cornwall. John R.Tobin, the proprietor, has had a number of years' experience in the hotel business.

[...] By the way, the Reunion site is an excellent source of information. My
great grandfather  Angus Lalonde is listed there - I wish I had a picture of
his hotel. Maybe I can find one at the Cornwall Library, if I ever get down
for a visit. It was interesting to find a picture of the lacrosse team with
"Newsy" Lalonde shown as Edward Lalonde, before he became famous by his
nickname. He was a (very) distant cousin.

Thanks again,
Bob Lalonde
